About Sports Imports

We play volleyball. We coach volleyball.
We love volleyball.

Our passion is the same as our first day of business in the 1970’s. That’s when our founders, highly respected collegiate coaches, helped expand volleyball throughout North America with the first safe in ground net system without dangerous wires.
